Tennessee vs. Alabama: Numbers behind the big Volunteers win
The No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide and No. 6 Tennessee Volunteers completed an SEC clash for the ages in one of the biggest games of the 2022 college football season.
With a 52-49 win, Tennessee snapped a 15-game losing streak against Alabama courtesy of a game-winning 40-yard field goal by Chase McGrath.
The Vols' 52 points were the most allowed by Alabama since a 1907 game against Sewanee (54).
It was also just the third game across Nick Saban's collegiate and professional head coaching career where his team allowed at least 52 points — and the first instance since a 1999 game between Michigan State and then-No. 20 Purdue.
Fans near and far from the college football world weighed in on the historic matchup.
